How to Handle Being Falsely Recorded for a Traffic Violation?
2 Answers
If the violation was captured by an electronic eye, you can inquire at the traffic police station in the area where the violation occurred. If the surveillance images cannot be retrieved, it can be considered erroneous information, and you can request the deletion of this record. If the traffic police station refuses to delete the record, you can file an administrative reconsideration with the station's administrative department. If it is still not deleted, you can proceed to the traffic police detachment for reconsideration, and it will definitely be removed.
I've been driving for twenty years and have encountered situations where I received a ticket without any violation. That time, I got a text message saying I was speeding, but I never even passed through that road, and the camera didn't capture me. The first thing to do is not to panic, carefully check the ticket details: look at the time, location, and the reason for the violation. Confirm if someone else's license plate was mistaken for yours. Gather counter-evidence, such as my phone's location records showing I was at work elsewhere that day, or the car was at the repair shop—take photos directly for evidence. Immediately call the traffic management department's appeal hotline, explain the situation, and provide the materials. Delayed handling might result in doubled fines. It's advisable to maintain lawful driving habits daily; installing a dashcam can avoid a lot of trouble and also record evidence in real time.
